-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 4.57 } IEEE Wireless Comm. Magazine: deadline approaching for “Internet of Things” S.I. Datum: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:03:26 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Manuscript Due March 15th, 2010 ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TAC SI on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TAC SI on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Datum: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:53:50 +0800 Von: Jiming Chen <jmchen(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Call for Papers* IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on *Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks* Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in their various shapes and forms, have greatly facilitated and enhanced the automated, remote, and intelligent monitoring of a large variety of physical systems. These networks consist of a large number of typically small devices, each incorporating sensing, processing, and wireless communications capabilities. Their use has penetrated a plethora of application domains from industrial and building automation, to environmental, wildlife, and health monitoring. The control and systems community has played an important role in the maturing of WSNs addressing issues related to their fundamental limits and designing strategies to optimize and control their operation so as to improve performance. Performance encompasses a variety of metrics that may vary with the application but in all cases includes the network's energy use which determines its usable lifetime. As WSN nodes are powered by small batteries, energy conservation has become a very important concern. Equally importantly, the existence of WSNs has provided a major application context to theoretical contributions of the control community including cooperative and distributed control, event-based monitoring, discrete-event systems, and consensus algorithms. What is emerging as the next step in the WSN evolution is their use not only in monitoring but also in controlling a physical system. To that end, some of the WSN nodes have to be augmented by integrating actuators. Actuators can be simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input, or they can be more sophisticated entities (like robots) that interact with their environment in more complex ways. The resulting augmented version of WSNs is commonly referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). WSANs are therefore heterogeneous networks that comprise of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. WSANs can be used to close loops over the network in a variety of applications, such as, environmental control, event detection and suppression, home automation, manufacturing, microclimate control, surveillance etc. The control community has recently made important contributions in understanding control over communication channels but this work has, for the most part, abstracted the communication medium. A new challenge is to consider a WSAN as the communications channel over which we seek to close control loops. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: < Autonomous sensor networks < Co-design of communication protocols and control strategies < Architectural, modeling and simulation of WSANs < Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication < Sensor-actuator and actuator-actuator coordination < Distributed control in sensor-actuator networks < Biologically inspired communication in WSANs < Applications and prototypes. *Submission Details:* All papers submitted to the special issue will be subject to peer review in accordance with the established practices of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Papers that do not fall within the scope of the special issue will be returned to the authors without review, to enable them to submit them as regular papers through the normal channels. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to the Corresponding Guest Editor, Ivan Stojmenovic, through the Transactions submission site http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/scripts/login.pl (once you login, click on "Submit a new paper to IEEE-TAC" and select the type of submission to correspond to the special issue). The manuscript format should follow the guidelines posted at the website: http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Computer Networks Journal Special Issue: Architectures and Protocols for the Future Internet Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:03:40 +0100 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Computer Networks Journal – Special Issue Architectures and Protocols for the Future Internet The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, the architecture has been losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements have given rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to its original design principles. Consequently, the research community has been actively looking for new approaches to evolve or supersede the Internet architecture. Substantial academic efforts in Europe, the Americas and Asia, as well as within the vendor and network operator communities have resulted in promising proposals to address the limitations of the current Internet architecture. This special issue of the Computer Networks Journal solicits original, high-quality papers that present, analyze and discuss revolutionary "clean slate" or evolutionary "dirty slate" Internet architectures, "future-proofing" improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, routing, transport and application layers, or new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture. Related topics, such as measurement studies or mathematical models that analyze and quantify Internet scalability issues, studies into architectural design principles that enable evolution, interworking technologies with the existing Internet, and others are also within the scope of the special issue. About the Computer Networks Journal Computer Networks is a scientific journal of computer and telecommunications networking published by Elsevier. Computer Networks is an international, archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in the computer communications networking area. The audience includes researchers, managers and operators of networks as well as designers and implementors. Submission Format Submissions should be clearly organized, written in excellent English and must describe original, complete research not published or currently under review by other journals or conferences. Substantially enhanced and extended versions of quality papers presented at conferences or workshops may be submitted with the differences to the previous version clearly described. All submissions will be peer reviewed. The guest editors reserve the right to reject submissions that are clearly out of scope or well below the expected quality for this special journal issue without further review. Submission Guidelines Authors must prepare and format their submissions according to the "Guide for Authors" available from http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ and submit them online at the same URL, choosing "SI-Future Internet" as the article type. Submissions must be in single-column format, double-spaced, use a font size of at least 11 points, and should not exceed 25 pages including all figures and references.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI -- Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers

22 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI -- Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:06:59 -0500 Von: Jaudelice de Oliveira <jau(a)ece.drexel.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks. Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not well matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate services, it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs between rate and delay for network communication. This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and transport layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source and network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control, and iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Information theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multi-resolution and multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem include the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code design, delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network utility maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g., DiffServ and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical deployment issues are also encouraged. Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a single link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end to end multi-link and overlay approaches. Relevant tools and techniques include: - Network coding - Overlay networks - Queueing based performance analysis - Controlled queues - Fountain codes - Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes - Error exponents - Network utility maximization - Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ) - Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP) - Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data - Multicast - P2P streaming and live streaming - TCP-friendly approaches All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should be submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss(a)gmail.com.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guideline and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) Datum: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:52:05 -0800 Von: Habib M. Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials.

Fwd: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks
by Lars Wolf 22 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:58:23 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Only one week left ================== Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. They provide mechanisms to establish identities, share information, and create relationships. The resulting social graph provides a basis for communicating and distributing and locating content. Broadly, the systems issues of social networks include: - How can systems infrastructure be improved for social networks? Infrastructure includes database systems, operating systems, file systems, and storage systems. - How can the social graph be leveraged in computer system design? The social graph encodes trust and common interests. How and to what extent can this encoding be used to improve computer systems? - How can social networks be modeled and characterized? What has been learned from the operation of existing systems? TOPICS OF INTEREST - Security and privacy. - Leveraging the social graph in systems design. - Real-time monitoring and query processing. - Database issues for offline analysis. - Experiences with deployed systems. - Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. - Measurement and analysis, including comparative analysis. - Tools for designing and deploying social networks. - Network dynamics, relationships between network links and user behavior. - Benchmarks, modeling, and characterization. - Decentralization: methods for integrating multiple networks. - Application programming interfaces (APIs) for social networks. The papers presented, as well as a summary of the discussion, will be archived electronically. Accepted papers may be subsequently revised, expanded, and submitted to full conferences and journals. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline March 1, 2010 Acceptance Notification March 11, 2010 Workshop April 13, 2010 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions are made via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sns10.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2010 Datum: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:27:45 -0800 (PST) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies] ACM VANET 2010 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Seventh ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2010 (approval pending) Date: To be announced (September / October 2010) Chicago, IL, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE (approval pending) http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2010/ Important Dates (tentative): Paper Submission Deadline: April 4th Notification of Acceptance: June 20th Camera-Ready Deadline: July 18th The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g.real-time traffic congestion and routing information) and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the activities worldwide in ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety, efficiency and commercial applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Test methodologies - Impact assessment - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Organisational and economic models Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages, use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6 pages (following the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiCom. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2010 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2010/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:26:47 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au> Organisation: University of Sydney An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this CFP. ----- CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles (V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I), has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609 suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries, have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense. There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be popular with the public. The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment * Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure * Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication * Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET) * Cooperative communication and relaying * Opportunistic routing and forwarding * Location, navigation and mobility management * Geographical routing methods * Security and privacy in vehicular communications * V2V and V2I communications * Intra-vehicle wireless communication * Public transport communication systems * DSRC/WAVE standards * Experimental evaluation and testbed deployments * Applications of road and vehicular communications in safety and traffic management Submission Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (Lavy Libman, lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MACOM-2010: Deadline extended - 1 March 2010 Datum: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:03:57 +0100 Von: Boris Bellalta <boris.bellalta(a)upf.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu MACOM 2010 3rd International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications 13-14 September 2010, Barcelona, Spain http://www.csit-spb.ru/macom2010.html Aims and Topics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels", and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques. The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols - and their interactions - for contemporary networks. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas: - PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc. - Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc. - PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques; - Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel, multiuser detection, etc. - Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools. The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cognitive radio networks. - Autonomic (self-*) and opportunistic networks. - Cooperative wireless networks. - QoS and radio resource management. - Future Internet architectures considering cognitive, autonomic, cooperative, etc. solutions for wireless objects. - Wireless Broadband Networks: PANs, WLANs, WIMAX, cellular (3G/4G) and satellite communications. - Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc. Venue ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MACOM 2010 will take place in the burgeoning 22@ innovation district in Barcelona, Spain. Its centric location, combined with the high density of universities, research institutes and technology- oriented companies, makes this the ideal spot for the event. The neighborhood has nice promenades and beaches to relax after technical sessions and it is also one of the main clubbing areas in the city. Address: Campus de la Comunicació. Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Roc Boronat 138, 08018 Barcelona, Spain.

These domains present new challenges that include expressing, verifying and validating requirements and ensuring functional correctness. Formal methods are one approach to address these challenges. Pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems add additional concerns to classical safety-critical applications and require rethinking how to apply well-established formal methods. Examples of these approaches include state-action models (e.g., labeled transition system, timed automata, and Petri nets) or process models (e.g., pi-calculus). Alternatively, semi-formal methods like ontologies or UML, a common specification language for the describing software models, model knowledge for context-aware applications. Both formal and semi-formal methods have their advantages and disadvantages. This special issue will address the state of the art: the research challenges, and the available methods, methodologies and tools to specify, validate, and verify pervasive, self-adaptive and context-aware systems. Topics The special issue intends to focus on the above issues and solicits papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to formal and semi-formal methods for pervasive computing. Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Formal specification of pervasive, self-adaptive, self-organizing, and context-aware systems - Ontology based approaches - Specific UML profiles - Formal verification of specifications and implementations - Model-Checking techniques and tools - Run-time and automated verification - Methodologies, languages, and tools - Applications and experiences in critical scenarios (e.g. healthcare, disaster recovery, etc.) Submission Guidelines Papers should be up to 20 pages (appendixes are not included into the overall count of pages), formatted according to the guidelines provided at the ACM TAAS Web site (http://taas.acm.org/) and submitted via the TAAS manuscript central systems at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taas Please make explicit in the cover page that your paper is intended as a submission to the special issue on Formal Methods for Pervasive, Self-Adaptive, and Context-Aware Systems.

CfP: Emerging technologies of wireless communication in healthcare
by Lars Wolf 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Call For Papers JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN HEALTHCARE PUBLICATION DATE: April 2011 With the emerging technologies of wireless communication, Healthcare systems can be significantly improved with lower cost and higher quality healthcare services, and more safety for patients. These benefits and impacts to the facilities of human society have fuelled increasing interests in the public and have attracted large support and investment from government, industrial and academic researchers. For wireless healthcare system assisted with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), the medical sensors implanted on/in body gather patients’ health information and transmit the private health information through heterogeneous wireless networks such as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and Wireless Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), in order for the patients to receive high quality healthcare services remotely on time regardless of patients’ physical location. However, this new form of healthcare system also poses critical requirements to traditional wireless networks and has promoted a promising research area recently. Challenges facing the wireless communications in healthcare systems include: definition of healthcare policy and legal issues towards potential new applications; the design of architectures among wireless communications for supporting safe and reliable signal propagation with low network latency; emergency response and detection; the need for privacy preservation of patients. This special issue aims at reporting the state-of-the-art research on emerging wireless technologies and applications in healthcare, highlighting research challenges and open issues and bringing together researchers and medical professionals from the academia, industry and government with the goal of fostering collaboration among them. Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles, reflecting those aspects of wireless communication research in healthcare distinctly different from wireless communication research in general are encouraged. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to:  Multiple access control protocol design  QoS provisioning  Energy-efficient algorithms  Unique middleware for enabling medical applications  Emergency response applications  Remote tactile sensors for remote diagnosis  Mobile patient monitoring devices and systems  Interactive and real-time WBANs systems  Security, privacy and legal issues  Policy and Standardization Continuing JCN’s tradition of fast turnaround together with full peer reviews, a tentative schedule is set as follows: September 30, 2010 Electronic manuscript (.ps or .pdf) submission to JCN website December 10, 2010 Reviews returned to authors.
